    Since its introduction in 1994, over 80 million Foreman grills have been sold.


    :shock:

    :lol:Brilliant. Almost enough for each and every person in Germany:shock:.Most are probably in the households of Americans, though.

    What about Pretty Boy Floyd, i mean money Mayweather.

    Did you guys know Hulk Hogan was offered the grills first but turned it down.

    'Chef' on the general (Wlad's personal chef and training camp manager) would probably have a heart attack if he read that!

    Think he's been mentioned, Tees. Didn't know that about Hogan! Hogan doesn't always know best then, does he?!

    EDIT: No, slip, it was genuine. It seems obvious now. Reading it back after you've pointed it out, it does look a tad condescending. Sorry, Darni:good. Unintentional on my part if it came across like that.

    Tyson got $7000000 for the Wiliams fight! That is crazy money considering the circumstances! How much did Williams get for that fight?

    I read Oscar got $58 million for the Mayweather fight after PPV etc.Not sure how accurate that is but:shock:Oscar with the GBP will probably be worth a billion soon if not already.A large % of his fights were 'mega' fights

    No,just the best example.Thanks for the upload anyway:good

    Foreman obviously did OK with HBO and the grills.Talk about grills and you're talking about George Foremby,so they were obviously a big hit

    Trinidad had some daft contract with King I read that he got a minimum of $15million per fight.Probably not 100% true but must be an element of truth

    No problem, keep up the good work. With posts like that you're surely a Betty-in-waiting.

    I knew I had you figured out a while back.:good

    I hope this isn't all about the post where you said that I'm not adverse to teeing up the ball for Betty and acting like I'm throwing a fish to a trained seal.You accused me of winding him from the sidelines and treating him like my prank ******.
    Wrong.I agree with alot of what Betty says,but he exaggerates too much(not just talking about Hatton btw)For what it's worth,I disagree with his views on Maccarinelli
